The Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders met for an NHL game on October 31, 2026. Prior to the contest, the Oilers were considered betting favorites, having won nine of their last 12 games. Edmonton entered the matchup with a 10-2-2 record and a strong road performance.

The Oilers won the game 4-0 at UBS Arena, marking the Islanders’ first shutout loss of the season. New York struggled with fatigue following a three-game road trip and significant penalty trouble. The game shifted early when Islanders player Emil Heineman received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for a kneeing hit on Oilers right winger Isaac Howard. 

The Oilers capitalized on the resulting momentum with goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Vasily Podkolzin. Tristan Jarry recorded 18 saves for Edmonton, while Ilya Sorokin made 20 saves for New York.
